Alabama Upsets Georgia 24-21 in Athens, Snapping Bulldogs’ 33-Game Home Streak

Ty Simpson’s poise on third down powered a signature road win for Kalen DeBoer’s team.

Overview

  • Alabama dominated situational downs, converting 12 of 19 third downs while holding Georgia to 2 of 8, controlling the ball for over 35 minutes without a turnover.
  • In his fourth career start, Ty Simpson went 24-of-38 for 276 yards and two touchdowns and added a rushing score to stake the Tide to a first-half lead.
  • Georgia’s ground game topped 220 yards led by Chauncey Bowens, but Gunner Stockton was limited to 130 passing yards as a dropped deep ball and a failed fourth-and-1 in the red zone proved costly.
  • The defeat ends Georgia’s home streak that began in 2019 and extends Alabama’s run to 10 wins in the last 11 meetings between the programs.
  • The result moves Alabama to 3-1 (1-0 SEC) and eases scrutiny on DeBoer, while Georgia falls to 3-1 (1-1 SEC) with a focus on fixing pass-game efficiency and situational defense.
